Pursued by

LONDON, Feb. S.-From an interview
with Capt. Dean, who was in charge at
Stanley Falls, on the Congo river, during
the recent successful attack by Arabs, and
who is now in London, it appears that he
and Lieut.. Dubois defended the place
until the ammunition was exhausted. The
Arabs then attacked the station with a
rush, and carried everything before them.
When the Europeans found it necessary
to fly, Dean ordered petroleum poured on
the building and set on FIRE. Then he
and his party escaped through the under
wood. He and Dubois fell from q slip
perry rock into the river. Dean swan
ashore, leaving Dubois clinging to the
rock. While Dean was seeking assistance
for Dubois, the latter became exhausted
and fell away from the rock and was
drowned. Dean fed nto a jungle, where
he was hunted and tracked by the Arabs
for a month. He was barefooted and had
only one blanket to cover him. He was
wounded in the thigh and arm, and lived
on locusts and wild fruit until found. He
was rescued by friendly natives.

Collapse. of the Great Strike.

New York, Feb. S.-There was con-
siderable activity on the piers of the river
frcnt this morning and freight was being
moved with much more dispatch than on
any day since the strike. The time that
has elapsed since the 'longshoremen and
freight handlers quit work has enabled the
railroad and steamship companies TO select
and, in some cases, train sufficient men to
keep freight moving steadily along. Be-
sides, many of the freight handlers and
longshoremen are coming back to work,
not at places where they are known, but
where they are least likely to be known.
MATTAwA, n. j., Feb. Sod hands
offered to resume work this morning at
the dock of the Pennsylvania Gas and
Coal company. The shipping agent or
dered them to leave. as he had no places
for them.
Along the North river front there is a
decided improvement in the business of
the railroad and steamship companies,
and freight is more easily handled to-day.
The streets leading to the piers are no
longer choked up with trucks. A number
of muscular countrymen have been put to
work, who are learning rapidly. The
Italians are gradually being discharged as
better help is secured. At the Pennsyl-
vania pier, No. 40, fifty of the old men
went back to-day.

The Westphalians nave u curious ex-
planatory myth regarding the nightn-
gale. They imagine that the birds song
may be rendered in these syllables Of
human speech: lis tit, is tit, is tit, to
wit, to wit-Trizy, Trizy. Trizy, to bucht,
to bucht, to bucht." But the last syllables
are the usual shepherds cry to his dog
when he wishes the sheep collected.
Therefore ''Trizy" must be the name Of
the dog to whom the cry "to bucht" is
addressed. Therefore the nightingale
must have been a shepherdess, whom a
shepherd cursed because she always post
poned the marriage she had promised.
He uttered the wish that she might not
sleep till the day of judgment. Nor does
she. for may not her voice still be heard
at night as she cries To bucht, to bucht,
to bucht" to her good dog ''Trizyf

A Marked improvement IL was
with honest pride that we observed the
marked improvement in the exhibits at the
recent Agricultural Fair of this county as
well MS the general interest manifested by
those in attendance. This is as II should be,
and we can but regard this increased vigor
as all evidence of new life as well as III
more enlarged field OF operations and use
iulness in the future.
We remember we'll when our Agricul'
tural Fair absorbed every interest aud when
it was the pride as it was the Joy OF every
household in the county. The rich and the
poor, the young and the old, all looked
forward with feelings Of pleasure to the
annual recurrence of the fall reunion OF
the farmers with the products OF their soil
and the blooming treasures of their hearth
stones--ah they were happy days then
and happy are the memories Of them.
II stronger evidence Vi increased interest
and zeal in the growth and stability Of this
home enterprise were wanted other than
that above named, II is Ia be seen in the
very generous awards made by the Society.
The premiums awarded " the agricultural
and toral departments amounted to $lV5',
whilst the very handsome sum Of $3.50 was
distributed rs race premiums.
The first days attendance was much larg-
or than usual and vi more substantial
character than has usually been found on
this day. II is estimated that FULLY 4'Ooo
persons were ON the grounds on the second
day, whilst On the third the attendance, 1t Il
to be regretted, was much smaller thar
usual.
Altogether, we conclude that the Fair wa
decided success, and too much credit can
not be given TO those who have labored %
earnestly and diligently to bring 1t about.

why Not TIT has been currently ru-
mored in our community for the past two
or three weeks that the Trustees Of the
Rockville Academy entertain a serious idea
of purchasing the new brick building to
be sold on the 18th Of September, situated
ut the western limits Of this town, and con-
yerting il into an institution Of learning In
place of the old Rockville Academy.
We believe that it is generally conceded
that the Board of Trustees have ample
means To undertake and develop such an
enterprise, and we further believe that such
a step would meet almost All enthusiastic
endorsement in this community.
j Our home Industries are expanding midst
| he utilization Of every inch OF soil--new
enterprises and attractions arc sPdaging Up
10 every direction, sending new life through
every social artery, aud why amid the gem
eral rush q Things should we be content TO
stand stillg Why should we not keep pace
with the tide of progress that is sweeping
over the land?
We cannot now at this writing recall any
place in the State Of Maryland that offers
better facilities for first class place OF
learning than Rockville. 1t has everything
TO commend it aud We sincerely believe the
enterprise would be crowned with success.
Whilst the Trustees would be enabled to
offer rare and enlarged educational advsn-
tages to foreign communities il would Create
u home institute Of culture at small cx-
pense and thus enable our people u give
their sons all the advantages OF a college
education without being compelled to 30
